APC's Morka Critiques Atiku's Call for Petrol Price Cuts

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), criticized Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), for his call to President Tinubu to reduce petrol prices in Nigeria. Atiku suggested that Tinubu should adopt his proposal to lower petrol prices, emphasizing that the focus should be on alleviating the financial burden on Nigerians.

Morka responded during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, accusing Atiku of failing to present any sensible policy and merely engaging in political theatrics. He pointed out that Atiku, during the 2023 presidential campaign, supported the removal of fuel subsidies but later criticized the policy after its implementation by the Tinubu administration.

Morka also addressed Atiku's concerns regarding the planned phase-out of electricity subsidies from 2027, stating that Atiku had the opportunity to address power sector challenges while serving as Vice President but did not do so.
